Oh sure....I've been all night trying to catch up...I finally do and you bail...
It's cool bud....don't keep on your side...plant that thing down deep and hard:D.......
Or not;)...your call....

Sorry bud, my back is killing me and I think the alcohol and pain pills are making drowsy

Soooo....all week I have to go in early....today I get a call...chill for a bit....come in later.
I get it...have a ConAgra tear down at 1:00 and only so much to do before that.....soooo

This gives me the opportunity to wow my babies with some premium Hawk ramblings.
I apologize in advance for the sketchy format...just winging it....

So...the other night I couldn't wrap a coil ..roll a piece of mesh to save my life. Got really frustrated. I was so ...... I had to walk over to the neighbors and kick their cat....cuz I don't have one. I was cat kicking ...... and I don't have one....going to the animal shelter after work today.....is that wrong?

Last night I came home determined to get it....literally a 5 minute gig. Done....working...and the VARI likes it....so good?????

28 ga. Kanthal.....7....yep count em...7 wraps.... Initially meters out at .9(...)....then moves to 1.2 and that's where it has stayed.
Ok...I'm somewhat coil happy.

Rolled a new wick the other night. Had it been on video I'm sure it would go viral....title would be "first time wick rolling dumbass fails"...
Did a somewhat hollow roll. I'm here to tell you hollow sucks. Period. Roll them puppies tight.
I also cut it shorter( I can see the bottom through the window) because I have read that it can short on the bottom of the rba.
Now I feel the need to tilt constantly because I can see the bottom of the wick compared to the juice level....and that mf'ing hollow wick
Blurbs out bubbles when I tilt it making me feel that it's not wicking very well...

Dammit...just writing this pisses me.....going to the neighbors for a bit.....

I'm back. 3 points right down the middle....that cat hates me....

Where was I....????...
So I cut it short because I've read it could short on the bottom of the tank. That makes sense....
While I'm easing into the wick hole:D.(I said wick hole)..I realize its not insulated...no insulator of any kind..so..again.........
If its not insulated at the wick hole:laugh:why should I worry about an oxidized wick touching the bottom???

Anyway...it's up and running and the flavor with kanthal beats nichrome...

Going to prep a new carto today. Since I have been hitting this rba the life of my cartos has grown. Going to see what is what.
Hitting 50% less should, in theory, double the life....aye???

Ok... Enough of the trivial crap...meat and taters....
I know it was stated "no politics"...but briefly....I hope this sequester thing forces the FDA to shut down....that is all.

I love a LINDY.....cream filled doughnut with maple icing....I can't eat one(well I could if I bumped a quart of insulin)....but they are awesome. That and waffles....I would kill for an all you can eat waffle fest.

Good coffee is worth it's weight in gold. I'm not talking that overpriced Starbucks crap...which I admit is good...but a good home brewed cup of Joe rocks. A cup of coffee should be :2c:...not $$$$.

My neighbors cat sits in the window glaring at me...

I think I thought myself out. That pool is pretty shallow.

Oh yeah...I get to see my Hawkeyes get .... raped by Indiana tonight. Should be epic....

Oh lord...OL Hawk stuck his foot in it this time...

Boss said yesterday 7:00 am today...knock our shiate out...tear down at 1:00...call it a day.
Then calls this morning and says let's do 10:00...we don't have that much then we will do tear down at 1:00...ok
Then calls again and says...we will tear down at 1:00 then go toil in the shop all afternoon..
I said bs...I have plans and based my day on that. Get over the hangover and let's get the shiate done.
:laugh: going to be an interesting day...I'm doing this little tear down and I'm done...

My week feels complete now.....I've been waiting for a good Hawk rambling all week!!
Don't go to the shelter....I've got a bunch of strays I'll round up for you....then you can take turns kicking.....can't wait for the Pitt's wick and coil rolling class.....I was reading a bunch yesterday about it doesn't matter if your wick touches the bottom....shouldn't cause it to short.....like you said it's already touching the wick hole.....any problems, just lick it then stick you finger in it an wiggle it round......coffee is yucky....love me some Dew in the morning......make you some waffle flavored juice??
Think you better go kick that cat again....

I hate that when RTS shuts down, they shut down their whole site....I can't log onto my account to check on my order.....wish they would just shut down their shopping cart, instead of the whole website!

When you log in....what outlet are you using?
When you log in in do you do a finger wiggle? That's very important.
And most importantly...are you holding your tongue right??? I can't emphasize this enough.
I know it's form over function......but yeah...
Hold the tongue right....
